Can't wait for the next book! UPDATE 1/2/12 Reread it for nth time~ gods, I think I have a girl crush on Sydney.
Well written, but slow moving. I felt there were too many tangents and many characters who seemed important at first were dropped. Probably could have been edited into a short story or a novella.
Join the Peanuts characters on tons of new adventures. We meet another one of Snoopy's brothers, Olaf, and Lucy enters him in an "ugly dog" contest. Peppermint Patty goes to summer school and she gets so mad that Marcie and Charlie Brown go to camp, she sneaks away to the camp. And, an "old friend" of Charlie Brown's calls and wants to meet him at the mall, could this girl have really been an "old friend"? Not even Charlie brown knows. There are many other strips as well, in fact a whole year's worth. This book can connect to almost all comic strip collections. The Peanut strips are classics, these strips were made in 1989, and use many modern techniques of comic writing. The actual characters and plot lines don't really connect to much, other then themselves. Come to think of it, the Peanuts comics are very original, if they are like anything it's probably because it took something from the world renowned Peanuts. I gave this book three stars because I wanted more from the book. It's cool that there are a bunch of unrelated comics but, I really do miss a plot line in these books. I would LOVE it if the author made a graphic novel instead of several strips. I had a lot of fun reading this but it wasn't reading with a purpose. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a really light, short read. Over all, the Peanuts are very good little strips.
I didn't like the ending of this book, but I enjoyed the read. Vonnegut has a way of making you say "what an asshole!" after you finish the last line. Growing up, my father talked about the Church of God the Utterly Indifferent all the time so this book fit well with my personal sense of futility about life and religion.
